Crafts from tires. Crafts from tires: flower beds, flower beds, figures, garden furniture

Let's figure out how we will make our swan.

First of all, you need to choose the necessary tire, the most suitable for the job. This means that it is better to find the most “bald”, for those reasons that it will be easier to cut. It is very good if there is a longitudinal pattern on it - this will also greatly facilitate the process.

Some tires have steel cord reinforcement (breaker). It is difficult to cut such a tire, in addition, there may be sharp ends of the cord sticking out at the cut site, which can cause injury both during operation and on finished product. Therefore, preference should be given to an old tire with a nylon cord (in the marking on there should be the words “Steel”).

The selected tire must be thoroughly cleaned of dust and dirt, washed and dried - it is simply more pleasant to work with clean material.

Let's get the tool ready. You will need:

chalk for marking;
roulette;
electric drill;
drills 3 and 10 mm in diameter;
sharp knife (with a powerful blade, such as a shoe);
jigsaw;
"Bulgarian" with a cutting disc;
pliers.

From additional materials:

wire for staples;
plastic metal rod (or thick wire) 1.2 - 1.5 meters long;
paint to give the finished "swan" the desired color.

Of course, you need to be patient - the process is quite laborious and complicated. It is better to choose a fine day for work in order to carry out the whole process in the open air - in the process of drilling or cutting, the rubber burns, which is accompanied by an unpleasant and difficult to weather odor.

Product markup

So, for example, we are working with an R13 tire, 165 mm wide. Its circumference is 180 cm.

Marking should begin with drawing two marks (lines) dividing the circumference of the tire approximately in half, this, in fact, is the length of the “neck” of the future “bird”.

We mark the future neck

Further, on the tread part of the tire, the “beak”, “head” and “neck” of the swan are drawn in sequence. Well, if the old tread pattern has a visible center line - this will greatly simplify the markings. If not, then it will not be difficult to carefully draw it with chalk.

So, from the first risk, a “beak” is drawn symmetrically to the center line, the length of which is 8-9 centimeters, the width is 3-4. The "beak" passes into the "head", 10-12 centimeters long and 7-8 wide.

It is clear that where the “head” ends, the “neck” begins, which gradually expands towards the “body”, at its beginning it is 4-5 centimeters wide, by the end it reaches 8-10. The marking of the “neck” ends on that line which divided the tire in two.

The last markup element is the tail. Partially, it is already outlined, its fork is what happens when cutting out the "beak". It remains only to draw two parallel lines with a distance between them of about 8 centimeters (along the width of the “head”), about 30 centimeters long.

Marking the tail

They learned how to make a swan, deal with now. Including :)

We plant a rhododendron in our garden.

cutting process

Perhaps this is the most time-consuming manufacturing step, requiring patience, skill and extra care to avoid injury. Probably, it would be useful to remind you that the work must be carried out in strong work gloves in order to protect the hands as much as possible.

Remember safety! Do not neglect protective equipment: gloves and special glasses.

Cutting is carried out from the base of the neck to the head.

Depending on the material of the tire and the degree of wear and tear, this can be done different ways. A heavily worn, thinned tire may give in to a cobbler's knife. A thicker tread can be cut with a grinder, but this process is quite dangerous and is accompanied by an abundance of smoke and the smell of burnt rubber.

If there is a jigsaw of sufficient power available, then, after making the initial holes with a grinder, it is better to use it.

Experience shows that it is better to choose a jigsaw file with fairly frequent teeth pointing upwards - this way the process is greatly simplified. The operation should not be carried out at high tool speed, on the contrary, it should be reduced by half.

To stick the jigsaw file in the right place, you can make a slot with a grinder or simply drill holes at the edges of the "neck" with a 10 mm drill. By the way, the work will be greatly simplified if the same holes are drilled at all the turning points of the markup.

It will be a big mistake to cut one side first and then switch to the other; in this case, working with a jigsaw will be complicated by strong vibration that interferes with the process. It is better to cut both sides in parallel, in small sections of 4 - 5 centimeters. You can simplify cutting by resting the tire from the inside against a piece of bar (board), gradually moving it as needed.

We saw with an electric jigsaw along the marked lines

Having finished cutting, it is necessary to carefully process the edges of the resulting parts. If there was a metal cord in the thickness of the tread, you will need a “grinder” to grind off the protruding steel wires. If the cord was nylon, it will be enough to cultivate the edges with a sharp knife.

Turning the tire inside out and giving the “neck” the necessary bend

In order for the “wings” resulting from the sidewalls of the tire to gain the proper span after cutting, the cut tire must be turned inside out. It won’t be much work - a little effort with the hands and the help of the legs will quite easily turn out the tire that has lost its integrity.

We turn the tire inside out, it will take some effort of the hands and feet :)

As a result, the “swan” has already spread its “wings”, but now its “neck and head” lie limply on the ground - they need to be strengthened and bent in the proper way. For this, you will need a prepared steel bar.

To begin with, it is necessary to drill paired holes along the center line, symmetrically to it, with a diameter of 3 mm. They are drilled from the center of the "head" to the beginning of the "tail", with a distance between pairs of holes - about 15 centimeters.

We drill paired holes along the neck every 15 cm.

getting ready required amount soft wire staples that are threaded into the holes made. These braces will hold the metal bar to stiffen the structure.

We insert such staples into the paired holes in the swan's neck

Insert brackets like this

It is better to start laying the rod from the bottom, twisting the protruding ends of the brackets around it with pliers. After cutting off the excess, the “swan neck” can be given a characteristic bend.

To some it may seem simpler or affordable use the place of a steel strip bar is also a perfectly acceptable solution. In this case, steel and rubber can be connected using bolts or rivets.

We fix the metal rod along the neck with prepared staples

In fact, the “mechanical” part of the work is finished.

Usage car tires in the country is also justified, as is the use of plastic bottles. This is a cheap and quite practical material for creating a wide variety of items and things that may be needed for work, recreation, and even landscaping a summer house.

Until recently, we talked about crafts in the country from improvised means, created TOPs of the most interesting things and determined rating and exclusive ideas for using old and used things to create something new. We have used wood, metal, plastic and glass bottles, but today it's the turn to pay attention to at least interesting stuff- car tires. Getting tires for use in the country is very simple, and working with them is not difficult at all. Therefore, we suggest taking a little time and exploring new ideas. Also, we immediately ask you to actively participate in the discussion of the article, because the opinion of each reader is very important to us!

Soft ottomans

For comfortable seats in the country during the holidays, you can use car tires. To do this, they are wrapped in ribbons of fabric or belts that are simply intertwined. There is nothing complicated in such a technique, and by a practical method we have established that the design soft ottoman it takes literally an hour from the tire.

Use for production country furniture"You can use tires of almost any diameter and size, but try to choose not the most dilapidated ones so that the reinforcing fibers from the base material do not give you trouble in the form of scratches and cuts.

Donkey with a cart made of tires

Remember, not so long ago we studied in detail the original works of some summer residents - wooden horses in the country? They were made of timber, logs, branches and other materials that you can not buy, but simply find in the country. Today we propose to consider the horse model in a new light. It will no longer be a horse, but a donkey from a car tire.

The production of such a creature takes only two tires, which simply take up space in the garage or shed. Using a sharp knife, a little knitting wire and imagination, you can build a nice decoration for the lawn in the country within a few hours. In addition, it is quite possible to create not only a small donkey, but also a wagon, and, for example, install flower pots, thus creating a mobile flower bed.

Tire parrots

Starting a conversation about exotic birds, we immediately present you with an image of such a masterpiece.

In appearance, a real art, to which a professional had a hand. But if you look closely, then there are no difficulties in the production of such birds. If you systematize the work, make a simple drawing and pick up quality tool, you just have to follow our instructions:

Make a cut of the tire on both sides, leaving only a small strip of the inner circumference. That is, you get a solid small radius of the product, and divide the large one in half;
Next, cut along a small radius, on both sides, due to which you get desired shape with which to carry out decorative works;
Along the edges of the cut, you should make the head of a parrot and its tail. We dissolve the source material into several strips and sharpen them at the end, and also cut out from rubber a semblance of a parrot's head, only in shape;
Do the rest bright colors, with the help of which a piece of black rubber acquires the desired shade and a clear image of a beautiful bird.

The frog princess from the wheels in the country

Do you have some old tires? Then on the territory of the dacha you can create a very pleasant and cheerful picture - a frog sitting on the edge of the lawn.

The whole process takes several hours, in terms of costs - you get only paint for decoration.

First, two tires are laid on the ground, next to each other, close. A third is laid on top of them, so we get a garden figure, somewhat reminiscent of a pedestal.

We fill the tires with earth from the inside and proceed to the design:

Two shorter and thicker branches and two long but thinner ones form the legs of a frog;
special shape wooden blocks, which can be cut with an ordinary hacksaw, complement the paws;
From plastic bottles we cut out the eyes and the crown for our cute "princess", the rest is just finished with paint.

Flowerbeds from tires

Some time ago, when we talked about interesting ideas for giving, we stopped at creating flower beds from tires. Today we have only a reminder, as well as a call to use not only the rubber part, but also the metal rims from the wheels, on the basis of which you can build reliable and durable stands for flower beds.

Bird figures

Decoration for gardens and lawns can also be made from old tires. Today we have a rather cute white goose, the production of which only one car tire was spent on.

As you can see, it is laid on its side and cut off, the main part of it forms a decorative cut, and the cut part forms the neck and head of the bird.

It is very difficult to make a head out of rubber alone, and therefore wood is used for stability and shape.

After the formation of the image, a new garden figure is painted.

It is also noteworthy that as a result we get not just a garden figure, but also an excellent flower bed for planting ornamental plants.

Swimming pool from an old tire

Of course, in order to make even the smallest pool, you will need to take a serious size tire, for example, from a tractor or a large loader, and so on.

It is difficult to work with dense material, but cutting will not be necessary, because we have a ready-made form that can be filled with water. It remains only to make a reliable bottom so that when filling such a pool, the water does not immediately leave.

Initially, you should choose a place for installation, cover it with a dense material that will create a base. It can be screenings or clay, but it can also be ordinary lawn land with grass, the main thing is that it be well-established.

Now we spread a piece of an awning or a special film at the installation site, which is used to construct artificial reservoirs in summer cottages. Along the perimeter of our wheel, we degrease the awning and lubricate it abundantly special glue. It can be rubber glue or even universal Velcro.

A wheel is laid on the awning, presses the awning with its weight, and remains in this position for a day. After that, the glued seam should be additionally treated with sealant from the inside and outside. After another day, you can pour water inside and use a completely sealed tire from special equipment in the form of a country pool.

Path in the country

If there is a slight slope on the territory of the cottage, a descent to the water or a passage through a ravine, it is tires that can be used to ensure maximum comfort on the way of movement. With their help, strong and durable steps are created, on which it is convenient and safe to walk.

Original garden figures

We have already studied some options, but now we are moving on to real fairy-tale characters that can appear in any country house.

First of all, we present bears made of car tires, which are organically formed and installed, decorated and endowed in a special way. As you can see, next to them are the pretty flowers made from plastic bottles, which we talked about recently.

Next in line is a caterpillar, which is really not simpler. This is a cute figure from upright installed tires, which fit snugly against each other at slightly different heights. Painting and simple decoration help to complete the look.

At the very beginning of the article, we mentioned wooden horses and showed you a donkey from tires, but now we have come to a horse from an old tire, the construction of which and the complete design will take you no more than a couple of hours. Agree, this is not so much to create a favorite country toy for children or grandchildren. The figure is formed very simply - a tire is installed in a small hole, which is concreted. Further, it is shaped and tinted, complemented by a head and mane, and immediately after that it becomes a pretty object in the exterior of the dacha.

Tire furniture

Oddly enough, but tires can play a role not only original jewelry for the landscape of the summer cottage, but to become really practical furniture. We already considered one of these examples at the beginning of the article, but here we came across some more very successful ideas.

Presented to your attention is a good summer cottage set, for the production of which tires and metal carcass. But as you can see, this is not a simple one, but wicker furniture, and therefore interest in it is increased.

A similar set and a little lower, but this is already cushioned furniture for giving. Naturally, not the most practical option and far from the ultimate dream, but very nice!

Use of tires for practical purposes

In conclusion, we present you the idea of the device cesspool, a homemade septic tank or a special pit for country toilet from old tires. We will not talk in detail about the construction of a toilet or a cesspool, since the site already has thematic material, but we will simply present you with another useful direction in which tires from a car can be used.

What can be done from car tires (video)

Human imagination has no limits, and the desire to achieve maximum practicality in a summer cottage is often the main goal. This is what we consider the reason for the development of new opportunities and the implementation of even those ideas that may initially seem not very good. Today we have presented you a considerable list of decor items, furniture and even sewer elements from old tires, and therefore we are waiting for your reaction to the material below, in the comments.

Yes, of course ... But you cannot dispose of all car tires and tubes in this way. Tires must be recycled. First for heating oil, and then for gasoline or solarium and cord. We can help with additional purification of heating oil for gasoline.

Sasha 04.10.2014

By the way, I saw a bunch of fakes from tires at other dachas, but I myself never thought to do this, because I was too lazy, and I didn’t want to somehow, but now I’ll make myself a couple of interesting fakes in order to decorate my country house a little)

Igor 07.12.2014

Flight of fancy, of course, pleased. And yet, I have a cool attitude towards this use of tires - this kind of aesthetics is still doubtful. It is interesting only in cases of a completely unexpected and original kind of application.

Dmitry Belokonny 21.09.2015

Very original, I learned a lot for myself, I liked the idea with ottomans, not only cute, but also functional, better than dragging chairs from home, or putting up an old bench. And the steps made of tires are also interesting, there is just a descent to the garage, and you have to go around it outside the yard (it’s very sharp), now I’m thinking of making the descent with tires to save time and not make a huge detour!

Alla 03.10.2015

In these photos, the tire shapes look interesting. I saw several similar figures at the neighbors, and I didn’t really like them: they look somehow clumsy. But the idea of steps from tires is interesting and functional. We can do this down to the river. True, I do not know where to get so many tires.

Elena 10/14/2015

And in our city, such decorations are implemented on playgrounds in kindergartens! Cartoon characters: Krosh, Nyusha, Cheburashka, Masha and the Bear! And the kids really like it, and my Ryo as well.
During my childhood in kindergartens, old tires were used only under flower beds or buried sideways halfway into the ground, like, such a sports equipment. (((Is there really not enough imagination for more? After all, no supernatural materials are required for such crafts?
Haven't seen anything like this in our gardens yet. I think people do not want to install such structures, because there is barely enough land for planting on 5-6 acres. Alexander 11/27/2016

I have always loved doing handicrafts. The garage, I have, is fully equipped for one purpose only - to do crafts. Some time ago, I began to notice how in my city I begin to put such crafts on flower beds, in kindergartens and other cultural places. I liked this idea and I started to do it myself different kind crafts from tires, etc. I think that now I will make black swans from tires. When everything is ready, I will unsubscribe what happened.

Karrina 16.01.2017

And please tell me which better paint use for such “folk art”?) So that it doesn’t flow from the rain and the smell doesn’t have a sharp, there are a lot of options to choose from now, I would like it not to peel off in a month or two, I don’t understand anything about it, but tires from my father’s old car remained , children want to experiment) I want them not to be poisoned in respirators and do without consequences ...

Vova 14.02.2017

Class! We are waiting for the continuation of the digest of products from tires!

Masha 03/22/2017

We made four such swans of their tires and placed them in the garden. It turned out very nice, and the process itself is simple. Only with the wings we didn’t bother so much, it turned out rougher. And in the photo, the parrots just conquered, but it's very fine work both in terms of cutting out rubber and in terms of painting. My husband and I team of Crazy Hands is not yet capable of this)

Masha 15.08.2017

I have never seen crafts that look really beautiful on a summer cottage, as for me it’s better to plant more flowers or let there be a smooth lawn than to litter the site.

Tire beds

Almost everyone has seen flowerbeds and flower beds made of tires - in the simplest version, when the tire is used without any special modifications, they are in any yard. But the fantasy of folk craftsmen does not stand still.

With the help of simple improvised tools, the tire can be turned into a large flowerpot.

DIY flowerpot is made from old tire with disk. It must be cut with a knife or a small grinder. To do this, put the tire on the ground and cut around the entire perimeter on the side of the tread. The tire should be cut without removing it from the disc. Then turn inside out both the bottom and the top. Thus, you have a kind of glass, the sides of which can be cut and various pebbles, shells, etc. can be glued to them. You can also paint it with different colors. Here everything depends on your imagination. Then you can plant flowers in the middle. It will take you no more than two hours to make such a flower bed.

Used tires are available for free at most services. The only resource required for in large numbers, there will be time.

At first glance, it seems that it will not work to achieve an interesting result, but the examples below are able to defeat the pessimistic attitude.

Original ideas for creating crafts from tires

Tires serve suitable material for the realization of the most interesting ideas. Due to the fact that you don’t feel sorry for them, you can implement your ideas for an unlimited number of attempts, after which you will definitely get funny country crafts from car tires. What kind of non-trivial constructions can be made?

Idea one: unusual flower beds made of tires

As a rule, the owners of dachas are concerned only with the functional side of these structures, so the flower flower bed from the old tire is not made out in any way. Such a decision looks faded and uninteresting. With a little effort, these products can be significantly transformed: you can make any image or object out of old tires with your own hands.

To create an interesting combination, you will need paint, a large knife, wire and a little imagination. Two flower beds can be placed opposite each other, depicting tea pairs. To implement the idea, you need 4 tires. To make the flower beds in the form of cups, rubber of a smaller radius will be used in the lower tiers, and larger tires in the upper tiers.

Additional elements of the composition can be made from the outer sidewalls of large tires. These pieces are enough to create a saucer-like rim at the base of a smaller diameter tire and handles for cups. It is desirable to fasten all parts of the structure with a wire.

It is better to color the resulting cups and saucers in bright colors. If the house has an interesting service, great solution will be its enlarged copy on the site. The result is an attractive flowerbed of tires.

In addition to this composition, you can organize other unusual solutions: hanging tires with a plywood base nailed to a tree or folding them into interesting geometric shapes.

Idea two: tire figures on the site

Although these elements do not carry a functional load, they will give the cottage soulfulness. The hosts, guests and, most importantly, the children will definitely smile at the sight of garden figurines from tires.

Inspiration for their creation can be drawn from cartoons, fairy tales and legends. They represent an inexhaustible source of fantasy. With a simple tool and available materials you can create characters such as the fabulous frog, the swan princess or the steadfast tin soldier.

By cutting the tires in half and connecting them in the form of waves, you can get the Serpent Gorynych. However, for a better similarity, you need to work. From the finely chopped parts of the tires, it will be possible to create scales and the head of this monster.

For greater resemblance to the original, it is better to attach to the figures additional elements from improvised materials.

Idea three: country furniture

You can not get around the option to make comfortable furnishings from tires. Inside the house, tables, chairs, chairs, the basis of which is rubber, upholstered on the outside with materials, will look interesting. different texture and colours.

The simplest things like ottoman, can be made from old tires with your own hands, spending less than an hour on the process. The upholstery will be attached to each other inside the tire. You can also use plywood sheets screwed to the sidewall of the tire with a screwdriver.

The only important parameter is the state cord. If it sticks out, then it is better to use another tire, since it will be uncomfortable to sit on such a pouffe.

Idea four: tire swing
